Penal Code 849 documents an arrest as a detention-only under specific circumstances–this negates the arrest entirely for purposes of your criminal record.

Detainment and arrest are connected but are different. A detainment may not result in criminal charges, whereas an arrest will. You may be detained because an officer suspects that you know about a crime or that you were connected to a crime, and their suspicion is reasonable and valid.

In criminal law, to detain an individual is to hold them in custody, normally for a temporary period of time.

Most states allow prosecutors up to 72 hours after an arrest to file charges, although some states, like California, allow only 48 hours. If the prosecutor fails to bring charges within this time limit, the court has to release you. Failure to do that is a violation of your rights.

If the court orders detention, the detention may be in juvenile hall or other suitable place determined by the court. The detention cannot exceed 15 court days. The court must also order Probation to provide services as soon as possible to enable the minor to return home.

The process of obtaining an arrest warrant begins when law enforcement officers or prosecutors present evidence to a judge demonstrating probable cause that a person has committed a crime. To issue an arrest warrant, the judge must be convinced that there is sufficient evidence to justify the arrest.

Arrests require a higher legal standard than detentions. For an arrest, law enforcement must have reasonable and probable grounds or a warrant. Detention only requires reasonable suspicion.
